For this year's Primary Sources: America's Teachers on the Teaching Profession report, Scholastic and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation interviewed teachers about their classrooms and schools; about student and teacher performance; and about the ways the performance of teachers and students should be evaluated, supported, and rewarded. Teachers shared their accomplishments, worries, frustrations and hopes for their students.

The 10,000 teachers surveyed in Primary Sources 2012 convey a real portrait of the challenges and joys of the teaching profession. They shared their thoughtful, nuanced views on both their daily practice and critical issues at the heart of education reform. How well do you know what your colleagues are thinking and feeling? Are your opinions aligned with theirs?
